PKEFACE. 

As I do not desire or expect anything but fair treatment, and 
believing that my work is the best of any now known, having 
been gotten up by myself alone as the results of 18 years of 
study and demonstrated success in the art of developing stu- 
dents, and helping others along the path of light, I believe it is 
not too much to ask all to be as fair as I have been in endeavoring 
to teach in this work, what has never, as far as I can find, been 
taught before. And I ask, for my own protection, for all to 
take the following obligations. And I now reserve the rights 
to copy for sale without my consent. And those who believe in 
fair play will not do so.

ADVICE. 
To the student who is about ft) become a medium this word of 
advice is needed: Do not exvuet too much at once. The world 
was not made in a day, neiiker will you get results in a day, but 
by practice, and that faithfully, each lesson, as a lesson first, then 
united with others, will produce results as you in turn apply them.

LESSON NO. 1. 



How to Sit for Clairvoyance. 



Sit in as easy a position as is possible, not in too much light, 
and remain in perfect silence in this condition for at least 30 
minutes each day for at least 3 days or a week, or until you 
have mastered the art of being still without a thought going 
through your mind. Then go on to the next lesson, and do not 
do so until you do. 

LESSON NO. 2. 

Sensitive by Breathing. 

This is the most important of all the lessons, for by it 
health is gained and the whole body is put in proper shape for 
spirit control. This should be done at night, when first going to 
bed and just before getting up in the morning. Now with an 
easy position lying on your back, without too much clothes over 
yon and not too many pillows under your head, throw well out 
your arms and feet so as to have the body divided into parts, the 
right lung for the right side of the body, the left lung for the 
left side of the body; now bring the ringers to a close, not with 
a hard grip, but on an easy fold loosely, then with the head on 
an easy level with the body breathe through the nose long, deep 
breaths, fully inflating the lungs and bowels, let the breath out 
of the lungs as slow as you take it in, always through the nose; 
do not hold the breath in or out. Kepeat this at least 5 minutes 
night and morning, as you would judge the time. Now the re- 
sults of this exercise is yiat you will feel a new strength in the 
morning, and a restfully soothing feeling at night. But first 
there will be felt a warm heat or glow, first across the lungs, 
then down the arms, then down the trunk of the body, then last 
down the limbs to the feet. Now this is electrifying your whole 
body, for your body is composed of bone, blood, muscle, nerves, 
etc. Now it is the nerves I wish to speak of. Your nerves should 
vibrate keenly, the more so the better, just as the wires of a piano 
does when one note is struck. Now your nerves are supplied with 
what is called the electric vital fluid, which is generated by each 
breath you take in. It is not the food taken into the stomach 
that you live on, but the air you breathe. Now as there are all 
kinds of chemicals in this air, and as one or more come together 
make different things, so, too, when the air rushes into your 
lungs, coming into contact with the heat of your body, combus- 
tion takes place, and the result is this vital fluid spoken of. 
Now you can give a man all the very best blood that can be had, 
but take the nerves out of him and what is he? A. dead mass 
of matter. But, on the other hand, give him a large amount of 
this fluid, and he can lose a large amount of blood and recover. 
You will say that he has a great amount of vitality. Correct. 
But when your body is in this perfect vital condition there can 
be no disease, and now, as you get your body charged up, the 
small nerves that have so far been robbed in the past by the 
larger ones, will vibrate to every sound that you will hear, and 
much more keenly than in the past, but not of a startled nature, 
for they will be strong and yet very keen, which is the point to 
be gained. 



LESSON NO. 3. 

Concentrate the Eyes and Ears. 

First let me give you an illustration. If you were in a lonely 
place and in the distance an object should loom up and you were 
not sure what it was, what AA<ould you do? Or, if you should hear 
a sound faintly, what would you do? In both cases you would 
center your forces on your eyes and ears; you would bring all 
the strength you could to bear on them— on your eyes to make 
them strong and on your ears to make them hear more keenly. 
No one would need to tell you to do this; the fact is, you would 
do it every time. Now do this after you have taken your breath- 
ing at night. As you are getting sleepy bring your forces to bear 
on your eyes, as if you wished to see with the lids closed, etc, and 
on your ears to hear any sounds. If you are lying on your side, 
then the ear that is on top or uncovered center upon. The under 
one let alone. Now go to sleep in this condition. Let it be your 
last thought. This ir. a little while will make your eyes and 
ears sensitive and strong, and is teaching you how to bring with 
your own will force that power which you would otherwise only 
use involuntarily; also it gives your own spirit guides a chance 
to come and work upon you while you are asleep for clairvoyance 
and clariaudience. Now before taking up the next lesson, put 
these into practice for at least 3 to 5 days; or, better still, for 
good results do not take up the next lesson for a week, or until 
you get some results of these past two lessons dS I have given 
them. 

LESSON NO. 4. 

Concentrate for Spirit Control. 

Take a small looking-glass the size of the top of a teacup, or 
3% inches in diameter. Place it against the wall door, or 
wherever you desire, according to your room, in a direct line with 
your eyes as you are sitting in a chair. Now with not too strong 
a light in the room, and if the light should come from a window or 
side of the room, then have the light come over your shoulder. 
Now let your eyes rest on the glass, looking at it easily but not 
with a stare. Inside of 15 minutes your eyes will become drowsy 
and may Avater a little. If so all right, and should they want to 
close, let them. Do not resist it. Now the glass that you first 
looked at will become illuminated, as you will bring your forces 
to bear on your eyes, and the first lights you will see will be a 
hazy vapor that will turn to a brilliant arc light color, then shoot- 
ing lights or stars, then shadowy forms, then faces, etc. Now as 
your head will want to move forward to the chest of your body, 
let your eyes come over and center on yourself. If you go to sleep 
so much the better; but first you will feel an easy chill go over 
your body (and do not fight it off), and then a floating sensa- 
tion, as if you were held in boyance by water when in bathing, 
and if you have a swaying baek-and-forth sensation so much the 
better, or if a sudden jerky convulsion is felt, welcome these sen- 
sations witli pleasure, ;>s seme spirit friend is trying to manifest 
to you by getting you into the proper vibrations. 



LESSON NO. 5. 
Concentration of the Inner Spirit. 

This perhaps better should be called the SOLAE PLEXUS de- 
velopment. However, I v. ill give yon a little of anatomy. You 
know that the spinal cords or nerves are a continuation of the 
brain, and that all nerves of the body center on these spine cords, 
with but ftw exceptions, they being directly with the head alone. 
Some of these nerves are nearer the surface than others, like the 
nerves of the hands and feet, etc. Now just below the ribs, in the 
center of your body, lies the SOLAR PLEXUS nerves, which are 
the nearest of all to the surface and therefore more easily to 
become sensitive, which is the thing you want now. As your eyes 
close and your head drops forward (in your last lesson) let your 
forces that you were sending oat when you first sat down now be 
turned into yourself, after you get into the drowsy state, using 
one hour if possible to this practice, at the same time each day, 
choosing yourself the time that you can be the most quiet and 
undisturbed. For I have found, and you will also, that the 
spirit friends are very prompt when their hour and time is ready 
for them, and to encourage them to be prompt at your call also. 
It will make no difference what hour you choose, but remember it 
must be kept up at the hour set aside for that purpose by you. 

LESSON NO. 6. 

Passive and Negative. 

Not much ought to be said by this time on this subject, as all 
along you have in past lessons been taught to hold yourself in an 
easy, passive frame of mind and body while in your "concentrated 
state. You have a spirit body as well as a material body, and as 
long as your own spirit body is encaged in your material body 
no other spirit can come into it or take control of it. And that is 
the reason that you must learn to both become able to concentrate 
and become passive and negative. When your state of passive- 
ness comes and you drop away into the semi-trance condition, as 
it is termed, and go out of yourself, it is your own spirit that 
leaves you, leaving you in this sleepy condition or stale. And just 
as much as your own spirit goes out, that much can your spirit 
guides come in. As you go into this trance condition let your mind 
be still, only what things that come to you while in that state re- 
member or think of, and nothing else. Aim to think of no one 
thing more than another, and aim to see nothing but what is shown 
to you by the spirits, and desire to see everything strong. Now 
put these last lessons into practice until you hav^e mastered them 
and have been able to receive the results that have been spoken 
of, and do not go on to the next lesson until these are well mas- 
tered. If you wish to have the results that has been desired for 
you, you should be at least two weeks with these lessons. 

LESSON NO. 7. 

Attraction Forces. 

How to draw this is simple but not easy. First aim to draw 
the magnetism of the living by personal contact with them. Now 
take their hand like this: Let your hand with the first finger 
extended grasp theirs, extending your finger through their palm 



until it runs up their wrist. Bring the other threee over or under 
the back of the grasped hand. Place them between the cords of 
their third and fourth fingers. This puts you in contact with the 
two strongest nerves of their arm. Now with a gentle pull to- 
wards you, you can come in contact with your friend's magnetism 
and you can draw both strength and pain at will as you desire as 
you find you can draw by the hand so, too, you can by setting the 
desire to draw. You can draw without touching any one. Draw 
to you simply by pulling to you. Now as you can draw from the 
living so, too, you can draw from the spirit forces and people at 
your desire. 

LESSON NO. 8. 
Kepeliinc Forces. 

If hand to hand you give an apple to another, you would no 
doubt extend your hand. This would be in line of giving or going 
against yourself. Now if you want to give out to another your 
forces and can get the hand, take it, the same as in No. 7, and 
with a little pressure against the hand (you taking it the same 
as if you were going to hold on to a friend you had not seen for 
a long time) press against the hand, and keep it up for a few 
minutes, and it will convince you that you can give out to another; 
but do not be too hard on yourself at first, as you might cause a 
pain, first in your arm and hand and then start up a weakness, but 
by practice the arm. becomes strong and no trouble will be expe- 
rienced. Now do not be satisfied with the first attempt with this 
exercise, but try several until you have become sure of your 
power. 

LESSON NO. 9. 

PSYCHOMETRY. 

The magnetism of every person goes out constantly and preg- 
nates all things around it. Now, first of all, put yourself into that 
quiet state just the same as when you sit for concentration. Now 
take up an article (watch, knift, glove, etc.) )f a person whom 
you well know in general character, his likes and dislikes, temper 
— quick or slow — in motion magnetic or electric, etc. — some one 
you are around with a good deal. Now bring the article to the 
median nerves of your hand or close to your wrist. Now with 
your fingers clasped around it draw to you the magnetism of the. 
article until you can tell and detect the same feeling as if you 
were near the person who owns it and felt that instinctive feeling 
that you would have with that person different from any and all 
others. After you get one, try another, until you have a number 
getting the same quality that you know each one possesses. Then 
take those you do not know. This is termed the material plane. 
Now for the spiritual plane, as by this time you have found that 
you can draw and get some things by articles from the living. 
Now as you find in the magnetism of each some qualities that you 
have found before a little stronger or weaker, you will say that 
such a person was of such a temperament, quick or slow. He or 
she is of such a principle, good and strong in force, or weak and 
negative; so on you, you will find things come to you that you 
never dreamed of. Then, with the spirit forces around you, and 
around the one you are reading for, they being in your friend's 
magnetism and you having something that belongs to that per- 
son, they will impress upon you what they want you to say to 



them. It also causes you to use your clairvoyance, they if possible 
building up so that you can see them together, with the feeling 
that though over you, you can tell or describe them and give 
out their message. Practice here counts, so the more the better in 
fact. This one phase harmonizes with all other phases,- and it 
makes a way for clairvoyance. First you should seek to get the 
magnetism, then get 0/ bring your clairvoyant powers upon the 
article held in your hand and see what kinds of lights you can 
get around the article. Then, lifting your eyes from the article 
held in your hand, center upon the person direct, aiming to see 
what things are around them. More will be said on this later. 
Now for the different kinds of magnetism. An ELECTRIC per- 
son is one of a very nervous disposition, always in a hurry, never 
still, all the time needing excitement to feed upon — one that will 
be on the move and travel all the time, quick in temper, and the 
article of such a person will be warm and hot and vibrating. A 
magnetic person is one that is just the reverse of the other — 
never in a hurry to make up his mind, loves to stay at home, 
wants perfect harmony and must have it. They are perfectly 
willing to let the world run on in its mad race, 1 but they will lag 
behind and eat a good dinner, which they are fully capable of 
doing. Their article will be cold and lifeless, like a stone, no 
vibration at all. They go through life with the world moving as 
it will, caring not how it goes. The third and last person is one 
that has the atributes of both the former ones. They can whip 
themselves along and drive ahead, or take it easy. They have 
enough of both the others to have a balance temperament, which 
they are called. They are the money-makers, as they take ad- 
vantage of their opportunities and go through life with their eyes 
open and always profit by experience. An article from such a 
person will be both cold and hot, dead, without any vibration on 
the one hand, and then warm and vibrating on the other. You 
will find both these conditions. Now before taking up the next 
lesson put at least a week to this practice alone, for the better 
you master *t the quicker and better will be the future results. 

LESSON NO. 10. 

"Will Power. 

This lesson is what I believe one that is not known, or at 
least given out, by any one, unless by some of my own pupils, and 
a very important lesson it is. "WILL FORCE. This is just as 
important as the last one, for much of the future depends upon it. 
Now after going to bed at night before now taking the breathing 
exercise (which you, of course, have been keeping up) place your 
hands with the tips of the fingers interlocking together so as to 
have a sharp edge at the top of the fingers. Now place your 
hands in this condition with the tips of the fingers locking to- 
gether under your head where the cords can be found that sup- 
ports the head. Now bring the fingers to bear just in the center 
of these cords, letting the full weight of the head rest on the 
finger tips. Now begin to spell mentally to yourself this word in 
this manner: W, easily; I, stronger; L, stronger yet; L, still 
more so. Then, with all the force you can command, pronounce 
the word WILL. This, bear in mind, is a mental lesson. Repeat 
this at least 5 or 6 times, and increase as you desire. In a short 
time you will find there is an increase in your strength of voice. 



eyes and ears. When you are talking to any one it also gives 
you the needed force to draw from when you need to become 
positive. It in time causes a fullness in the back of the head, 
where these cards spoken of are. You are by this exercise send- 
ing into yourself the positive and negative forces of your own 
body so as to have it ready to call upon when you need it for 
help to strengthen your forces. Now while on no one of the past 
lessons must you to become perfect quit practicing upon at any 
time, yet, as lesson by lesson you are given to study, simply add 
them to what has already been taken, and do not slight any one 
of them, giving the time to each lesson as I have here laid down 
to you before taking up the next. If you go over my time set, 
so much the better will it be for you. 

LESSON NO. 11. 
Mental Telepathy. 
Take some one whom you are well acquointed with, for without 
this you will not be successful in sending or receiving a message. 
Now draw to you the magnetism of your friend, so as to seem 
to you as if you had that person standing before you. Now 
bring all the forces to bear that you can, then strongly send out 
your message mentally and aim to reach the solar plexus of your 
friend, at the same time to have him answer by the same 
method. Afterwards compare both the message sent and re- 
ceived. Now it takes practice, but not as much as it might seem. 
You will use drawing force, clairvoyance, sensitiveness and will 
force here. You know that a person has to have a transmitter 
and a receiver to send a telephone message, and without it the 
average could not before the wireless system came into use do 
anything. Now your body is both a transmitter and a receiver. 
The transmitting is done from the head. And here let me say 
that the strongest place to concentrate is between the eyes over 
the nose. The stronger you can do this the better, and by this 
time you should be sensitive at the solar plexus, so as to able 
to receive, fo there is where you receive all intuitive thoughts. 
Now it is according to all experience that only those of perfect 
harmony and those whc can draw magnetism of their friends can 
use this power at all, and to attempt to use it with strangers 
would not be as successful at first as would those whom you can 
agreee with. In sending a message be sure and make each word 
sent positive and strong, and if you keep repeating it for a 
short time before sending the next word, so much the beter. 

LESSON NO. 12. 
Diagnosing Disease 
Is without question something that every medical doctor cannot do, 
yet the physic should not find it hard. First take the hand, the 
same as in No. 6. Draw the forces to you. First find out 
whether even or not. Get their general condition. Now let your 
eyes rest over or on them near their head, and slowly drop your 
eyes over the different parts of their body, and as you do this 
draw their ? aagnetism from that part of their body to you through 
their own hand, pulling towards you with a gentle pull in a down- 
ward manner. After you get below the waist line then raise the 
elevation of their hand and draw with an upward pull. This will 
with a little practice, according to your own knowledge of the 
different locations of the different organs of the body, put you 
onto the art of telling any one every ache or pain in them. 



LESSON NO. 13. 
Magnetic Healing. 
It has come to stay, and people have become acquainted with 
the fact that the medical doctor is not all there is, and that the 
healeh who uses natural law can do more and be equally as success- 
ful as the medical doctor, but they both should at times go hand in 
hand, as there are things that the healer should not do; but all 
nervous troubles and things that come from the field of troubles 
will yield better to the magnetic healing treatments than to any 
other kind of treatment. Now you have learned how to draw 
and give out forces with the hand. Now if you have practiced 
as you should you will have found developed a battery more or 
less strong, according to your ability. This would seem to an- 
other somewhat of a jarring or trembling vibration, which is 
what it should be; also you have found you can draw your forces 
together so as to regulate them at will. Now remember that that 
force you now will be using is your own vital force, charged as 
it may be by your own spirit guides that you have by this time 
drawn around you. Now do not abuse yourself at first, and after- 
wards you can tell how far you can go with your strength. Then, 
as you have practice, you will increase in power as you come to 
understand yourself. Now, after treating any one, be sure and 
throw off all conditio us. If possible Avash your hands, if you 
are so that you can without too much trouble to others. If not, 
rub your hands with a towel or handkerchief, first sending a bat- 
tery through your arms into the towel or whatsoever you have at 
hand so as to drive out all magnetism you might gather from the 
one you are treating. It is not wise to allow yourself to take any 
pain up your arm beyond the elbow, for the danger of not being 
able to discharge it it in time from making your arm lame, etc. 

LESSON NO. 14. 
How and Where to Treat Various Diseases. 

Now if your patient has lung trouble, let him or her rest in an 
easy position as is possible, then with one hand under and back 
of their lungs and one hand in front send a batery through them, 
not too hard at first, but stronger little by little, and it may be 
wise to magnetize the whole body by friction, rubbing, etc. But 
after sending this current through the lungs make passes in a 
circle form over them, sc as to excite them into action, or, as it 
seeems best to you, follow your own strong impressions. Heart 
trouble — This is one of the most useful organs we have. The 
author has never heard of any on living without one, and if it is 
of such consequence it behooves us to treat it with care, so 
therefore if the heart is weak and you wish to strengthen it with 
the hands in front and oyer the organ and back of it with a give- 
and-take movement, send your battery into it as you feel the 
beating of it, not too hard a pressure at first, and as you find 
the patient can stand it increase in strength, then with a gente 
side or edge movement with both hands working from front and 
back at the same time, coming together at the left side of t he 
body, rub them. Stomach trouble— The best way for this treat- 
ment is to have your patient always lying down, then with a 
gentle movement rub their stomach and bowels in a cross-w T ays 
movement from left to right to create a friction, making an in- 
crease in the speed and strength of your movements as you find 



you can do so without being too hard on the one you are treat- 
ing; also send a battery into him as well, taking the front of 
the body first. Next take the Bladder trouble. With this make 
a sort of churning movement so as to whip the bladder into a 
motion, working from the groin in an upward yet underward 
movement. Kidneys — Treat them from the back on the same 
lines as the bowels, sending first a battery into them, then cross- 
ways from the spine outwards. Eub them, and also with a down- 
ward movement over the hips, working if possible from the spine 
each way, and of course the better to do this if the patient is 
strong enough to hav€> him standing up back to. Eheumatism— 
This not only requires strong forces, but the whole body, espe- 
cially the back, also the shoulders and arms and limbs, rub them 
in a downward motion, the arms and limbs crossways, the shoul- 
ders stright down the back and spine. It it well to get the 
body well heated up before letting up on the patient, and then 
see to it that he does not catch cold, for if so your patient will 
lose confidence in you and go somewhere else. You must use your 
own judgment in treating always. "While there are several laicl- 
down laws or movements, like the circular or rotary motion, I 
find it best to let the healer do his own work, with this always 
in mind — never in any movements rub or drive pain or disease 
to the heart or brain. Work always from these two organs much 
as is possible, and the nearer the surface of the body that you 
can work the trouble out of the body from the seat of the trouble 
the better. 

LESSON NO. 15. 

Suggestion. 

Years ago it was not understood or considered, to-day every- 
thing is expected — yes, even demanded — in suggestions. Some 
claim that it is all there is. I admit that it is a power, but not 
all, either in the autto or post forms. Now I will give you a few 
pointers, enough to show what use it can be put to. Now, then, 
suggestion is what we use every day of our lives, ignorantly or 
not. When you tell any oue you want him to come to see you 
to-morrow, and you speak those words, then you are giving out a 
suggestion; or if you constantly speak to one, saying you are 
looking bad, are you sick, etc. You will soon find that the person 
will soon take on symptoms of sickness. Just the reverse — if the 
suggestion is given to a sick one that he is looking better, he 
will soon show signs of improvement; and let every one say it 
that is around, and you vill find that the sick one will eat better 
and admit he feels better. Of course, you clo not tell the one 
sick that you are giving suggestions; if so, he would not believe 
you, and you would not have the good results. Now in giving 
out a suggestion use only a monotone voice — not a loud, but a 
steady tone of your own, not any assumed voice, and speak as if 
every word you believed, and send cut that thought in your 
word of belief of what you are saying. Use the tone that speaks 
of confidence in yourself and make your eyes do the same, and 
you will find no end of what can be done by this one thing 
alone. You will in the next lesson get the continuation of sug- 
gestion, but put in practice this in a harmless way until you get 
some results, as when you are treating any one you will find 
suggestion one-half the battle. 



LESSON NO. 16. 

Suggestions. 

Now you will test your mind and will force, for the post sug- 
gestion is only used by the mental forces. Just such suggestions 
as can be used in No. 15 can be used now, but not in the same 
way, but what I believe the best and most successful. Instead of 
speaking in an audible tone of voice, use the silent voice, or speak 
with your brain only. While you are treating some one say 3 
times a week, each time you treat that one send out your thoughts 
in the post manner to him that that he is getting better or 
over his trouble, is sleeping better, etc. Sending out those 
thoughts with just as strong a force as you can, send out your 
suggestion from between your eyes over the nose with force, and 
direct so as to hit the patient at the solar plexus nerves. Repeat 
slowly at first, then more rapid, until by some word or action 
shown by the patient that he has received the suggestion. The 
next time you treat the same one, repeat the suggestion, making 
such changes as you see fit. 

LESSON NO. 17. 
Mesmerism. 

I will now call your atention to attraction, for that is just 
what this is. Its use^ are great and varied, but you can find 
more use for it than I will name. I will for the instructions take 
up the patient you are supposed to be treating by magnetic treat- 
ment. Now it may be a somewhat nervous person and unable to 
sleep well at night, and you wish to have him or her sleep, so 
therefore let your patient lay down in an easy position, covered 
up so as not to catch cold. Remember that the fear of such a 
thing can act as a suggestion against you. If the person seees 
you take that precaution the fear is removed. After doing this, 
tell him to rest easy, to let his mind be at rest. This is a 
suggestion from you, and do not be afraid if they want to go to 
sleep to do so. Tell them you desire to rest their neives, but do not 
tell them that you are going to mesmerize them. If so it will 
be all off with 9 out of 10. So many really do not know what 
it is. Now take a seat in as easy a position as you can. Now 
place one hand under their head, the other one on top of their 
head across the forehead. Now let yourself go to sleep — not 
complete, but to all appearances you are sleepy, holding only 
enough of yourself awake so as to be able to rally at your will. 
Let your eyes close and become languid, and if you feel like 
yawning a time or two so much the better. You will soon find 
that by your partaking of the sleep conditions your patient is 
doing the same thing, trhough the feeling that he or she is 
drawing to themselves If it is hard for them to close their 
eyes, let your top hand slide easily down so as to compel them to 
close their eyes. Then when they give up, which can be detected 
by their breathing or general relaxing of their whole body, and 
you wish to bring yourself together before removing your hands, 
give the post suggestions of sleep, etc. If they open your eyes 
when you do, then be ready to lok drowsy, and close your eyes 
again, as if you had just opened them, and you will not have to 
do this more than once or twice before you can get them to 
sleep. Then easily draw first your under hand from them, then 
lift up the other one; or, better still, move it downward so as to 



close their eyes stronger. When you have got yonr patient asleep, 
either leave the room for awhile or set back and keep still, giving 
the suggestions such as when you wake up you will feel better, 
etc. Now when nature becomes rested your patient will wake up 
themselves, or any one can wake them up. It is not best to let 
your first one sleep too long— not more than 15 minutes— until you 
become used to putting people into that condition. 
LESSON NO. 18. 
Hypnotism. 

This is the subtle force that is used by animal trainers, snake 
charmers, etc., i. e., the power of the eye and will of the brain 
—nothing more or less— used over another, and although I do not 
approve of it on the whole, it sometimes comes in handy play, but 
it should be used with great care, as harm can be done with it 
when not intended, and for stage tricks it should be prohibited, 
for, once under the power of the hypnotist, you are like a 
bridled horse — you have no will of your own, but must mind the 
will of your master, and when once a person becomes a good sub- 
ject, then that person can be influenced by any one who has this 
power and wants to use it. Therefore heed well how you use it. 
Fortunately the criminal class of people do not have this power, 
or do they make good subjects for one who has it. Now go back 
to lesson No. 4. There you are told to look into a glass. The 
object was for your eyes to become sensitive and strong, and, as 
you were told in the first lesson, that much depended upon your 
becoming through with them. Now if you have done so you have 
found a difference in your eyes. Now you want the positive side 
of your powers. Take your watch, or sit so as to be able to see 
a clock. Take the same glass you were using before, place it on 
a table; sit close enough to it so you can see your own eyes, the 
stronger the better, and quicker in the long run. Then, without 
a wink of the eyelids, look into the glass at the reflection of your 
eyes for one minute. Then try it again two, then three, five, ten, 
fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes, without a wink of the eye. Then 
keeping your seat move the glass, first one foot, then increase 
little by little, until at least five feet to the right, looking at the 
reflection of your eyes in the same manner, only at a right angle, 
for the same length of time. Then move the glass the same 
way to the left the same distance with the same results without 
flinching. The reason for the moving of the glass to the right 
and left is for you to be able to work from either of these po- 
sitions. Now if you become successful in this, and there is no 
reason to doubt but that you can if you try hard enough, you 
will have all the power that any hypnotist has got, and you have 
in this one lesson what some have paid $J00 for to get at the 
secret of. Now it remains with you what use you make of it. 
You will find that no one can withstand your power of eyes un- 
less they are a hypnotist. 

LESSON NO. 19. 
Ways and Uses of Hypnotism. 

Now with a look and a suggestion you will be able to do with 
others almost all you desire up to compelling them to do some- 
thing the person in their normal state would be opposed to do — 
like standing in company on their head, if a lady, etc. Now in 
looking at a person it is the most common plan to look between 
the eyes over the nose. Some take the eyes themselves; others 



take the corner of the eye near the temple of the head. Sut your 
self— wherever you get the best results. I would believe you to 
have at first i-he best luck with the eye itself, as you have de- 
veloped on that line, and the expression of the eye should be 
no bother to you. The most good that can be done with this is 
the extreme sickness, like paralysis, etc. And it helps along the 
line of magnetic healing for the cure of tobacco, morphine, drunk- 
enness, etc. All that requires a strong suggestion will yield to 
the power of hypnotism when nothing else will have any influence 
over them. 

LESSON NO. 20. 
Sound Vibrations. 
Not much time or thought has ever been given to this subjtca; 
but how much there is in it may be judged when you come to 
read character by the sound of the voice, and this can be done, 
the author has given 150 tests in one evening, and put people to 
the test or challenge as to being correct. Now go with me to the 
sea shore. First note the sound of the tide as it goes out. Don't 
forget it. Then listen when the tide comes in. First, the going 
out is the weak but mild restless sound; the coming in, sullen, 
never still and different tone that has the sailor beware in it. 
Next go with me to the mountain brook and catch the babbling, 
rippling, runaway, laughing sound. Go deeper into the forest; 
catch that awe stillness of the wind, mournful, sullen, dreary 
howl, or the gentle, soothing rustle of the leaves or pine needle. 
Consider well whether all is well, pleasant or stormy weather. 
Next let us take the bold lion's mighty roar of self-confidence and 
defence of all there is in life. Does he not delight in his strength? 
Yes. But the lioness— not so much of the bravo in tone, but the 
still caution of not being afraid to defend her young or her 
rights. Next turn to the bovine tribe for the same results. The 
strong and courageous bull, with his base bellow challenge to any 
that cross his path; the cow, with her faint but clear mew for 
her calf in the barn. Next to the birds in the air. The meadow 
lark, who is only now and then at times when we are around bold 
enough to sing; the robin, who is always telling us rain and 
nothing else; the sweet-singing canary, who is always glad and 
full of joy, and who can no more keep from singing if we are 
around than it can take its life, who wants to make life cheerful; 
the crow, who is only too glad to do mischief, and when at a safe 
distance sends back the same caw, caw, and no more, only to re- 
peat when your back is turned by doing the same thing over 
again. How like these are the sounds of the different voices of 
people. Like them, they tell their story, and, as you know the 
nature of these different sounds of nature's own, so, too, will you 
in the nature and character of those who have the same general 
tone of voice. But that a better understanding will be had by 
a fuller account, will say that a weak voice is determined in a 
woman abnormally in every line, in every thing. A blatting voice 
is a bell ringer or news carrier. A feminine voice in a man is 
more womanlike all over, and women should be taught to watch 
them well. Now as you note the different voices and quickly place 
the sound, either in the mountain heights or what belongs to the 
mountains, or low down at the sea shore, you can tell that one 
that their most success will be at the place named; and if you 
place their voice with either the animals or birds, water or air, 
you can tell them that they are like them in disposition, and their 



likes and dislikes are the same. For we are all related to one 
or other of these creations of nature. 

LESSON NO. 21. 
Automatic Writing. 

This is good, and a great many people have this gift, when 
they can be able to get controls or guides around them, and as 
you may have these, I will tell the only way is to put yourself 
in the negative state, with pencil in your hand, proper for writing, 
and let your hand move as it will, no matter if you do not get 
at first as much or know what is being written. Fix your con- 
centrated eyes upon your arm and hand, at the same time hold 
yourself in proper conditions. If you have a guide around that 
can write, he or she will take the opportunity to do so, and 
practice and patience counts. 

LESSON NO. 22. 
How to Start in the Work. 

This is now before you If you have a room so as to hold 10 or 
12 people, invite them to it. Let them be as strange to you as 
is possible, for better results will be given to them, and it will 
set yourself up in their eyes as being gifted. Have a small table 
near at hand, and as the people come in let them place articles on 
the table, and you have a minute or two of time to gather your 
forces, and then when all is ready take up the articles and give 
out what has comt to you or what you get from it, as you have 
been told how to do in the past. Let your company say right or 
wrong. Do not tell them how you get it (that is the law of your 
getting it. It is enough you get it. As soon as you can give a 
test without an article, do so, as the more independent you can 
do your work the better, and the people will think more of you 
for it, and thereby establishing your power in the eyes of the 
world. You will use, of course, the clairvoyance, clariaudience 
drawing and psychometric forces, with spirit control through 
intuition, etc. Now it will be well at first to do your work free 
until you have got practice, then make vour charges. 
EXPLANATION. 

You will notice that there is nothing said as to the much- 
talked-of slate writing, materialization, etc. Now the truth of 
the silence on these lines is that the former-named phase is very 
doubtful as to being genuine, and the latter — while the author 
well knows that it is possible for the genuine, yet such is the 
case that only one in 1000 could get it under the most favorable 
conditions possible, and then always under the ban of public sus- 
picion, that it has been thought best to leave both alone. Will 
say, though, uhat the only way that a spirit can materialize is first 
to draw enough of your magnetism to make »up their form as it 
was in life, and this magnetism is your very life force, and any 
medium that will in any science produce more than three such 
forms in one evening and then repeat in a night or two, cannot 
be genuine and live six months to tell the tale. And no other law 
can be found than what has been named for this one phenomena. 

Now, wishing you success, I remain yours for help in any way 
that I can, and any information that is needed will be cheerfully 
given. •
